ABSTRACT - In areas of the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone in Brazil, the soil displays features which are inherent to the
processes of soil formation, both of the Central Plateau and the Pantanal Plain. Given this premise, the area should be
noteworthy for its high level of edaphic heterogeneity. The present study aimed to determine the physical, chemical
and physico-hydric attributes that best explain the heterogeneity of soils in areas of the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone, and
to assess whether these attributes differ between the studied fragments and between the Cerrado soils of the Central
Plateau and of the Pantanal Plain. One hundred and sixty soil samples were collected and 11 profiles described for five
areas of the Cerr...
